Methodology: Multiliteracy is a “…kind of pedagogy […] in which language and other modes of meaning are dynamic representational resources, constantly being remade by their users as they work to achieve their various cultural purpose” (NLG, 1996, p. 64).

This methodology gives him knowledge about how it is important to study language in different sorts of contexts.

Step-by-step to an English class: 

1. Analyze the picture and ask some comprehension questions. 

2. Provide the student with a few more contextualized examples. 

3. Explain the new subject and use real examples. 

4. Ask him some simple examples. 

5. Check comprehension, ask him a few simple, straightforward questions about Present Perfect. 

6. Elicit what he is supposed to do the exercises. 

7. Give him time to complete the exercise. 

8. Explain the difference between since and for. 

9. Give him some examples. 

10. Do some exercises - for and since. 

11. Play a game - this game the student has to use the present perfect in all forms. 

This is the opportunity to analyze his development in his English. 

In this class, I will use English and Portuguese because he doesn't know English. In his school, his English classes are only in Portuguese.
